Do you ever feel a strange sense of awareness about certain places or people and that a particular experience seems like it duplicates something that happened in the past? The problem is you have no recall of it happening in the past. You could be experiencing déjà vu.

Déjà vu is difficult to describe and even more difficult to study, though it refers to those unusually rare moments when the present suddenly starts feeling like the past. Is it a memory from a dream that causes it? Perhaps a past life memory emerging from deep within our collective psyche? Is it a stream of consciousness left from reincarnation or is déjà vu a psychic phenomenon?

Most psychologists who study memory suggest that because we have source memories for all the things that have ever happened to us and source memories about where they occurred, when we experience déjà vu we may simply be experiencing something familiar in which the source cannot be pin pointed in our memory banks.

What’s so interesting about having a déjà vu is that it is often young people who experience this phenomena the most. It seems peculiar because you would think it would be the opposite, as older people have more memories stored away. Yet from between the ages 6-10 is when experiencing déjà vu begins, with the most occurrences happening between the ages of 15 to 25. Is it not possible that the young are more susceptible to past life transference, or are they tapped into a higher level of consciousness? It’s a common belief that children are more psychic than the average adult, so it makes sense for children to experience more feelings of déjà vu.

Déjà vu could be considered a precognitive response. It is your brain’s way of letting you know that you are familiar with a certain situation but it also acts as a warning that something might not be right. Déjà vu researchers claim that people with epilepsy often report the feeling of déjà vu right before they have a seizure. The brain sends signals to other parts of the brain that possibly triggers a memory response from previous attacks. Because an epileptic usually cannot remember their seizures, they are left with the same feeling as someone who experiences a familiar object or scene but doesn’t know why.

Whatever the cause, people around the world who claim to have feelings of déjà vu often report having other psychic abilities as well, including precognition. Though most psychics believe that the two are separate abilities and not related to one another, they are both still common in those with highly developed intuition.

As a Boston Psychic, I do occasionally experience déjà vu. My most recent experience was in Boston’s Chinatown. I stopped at a stand and was just about to place my order for chicken fried rice. Suddenly, I had an eerie sense that I’d done that exact same thing before at this exact same spot even though I’d never been there before. My first thought was I must be connecting with one of my past lives.

So if you ever get a weird feeling that you’ve experienced a moment in time before, or sense a familiarity in a new place, you may not only be experiencing déjà vu, you could be opening yourself to a higher level of psychic awareness.

You may have experienced that sense of deja vu before, or a feeling like you’re suddenly in a movie you’ve already seen and you’re watching it play out. Those tiny moments when we have an awareness of a past we’ve already lived is a great example of the psychic ability to see into the past, or what’s called retro-cognition.

What is retro-cognition?

Retro-cognition literally translates from Latin as “backwards seeing,” and is the ability for psychics to see into the past. This is the opposite of precognition, which is when psychics see into the future- the usual psychic ability we hear about.

Retro-cognition is helpful as well though, and might show up as knowing information about what happened in the past in a location, simply by sensing the energy there when you walk in. Or holding an object that belongs to someone and getting a sense of a memory or past experience that is directly linked to the owner of that item.

Retro-cognition is simply when a psychic experiences a knowing about what has already happened, without any physical evidence or awareness. It’s perceived entirely through metaphysical senses.

How can a psychic seeing into the past help me?

If you find a psychic with retro-cognitive abilities who can see into the past, they may be able to help you work through past issues and relationships in your life through this different skill.

Psychometry is the retro-cognitive ability to perceive the history of an object simply by touching it. This could help you to connect with memories of experiences from your past that an object retains, or to gain more insight into relationships that didn’t get closure if you have an object that belonged to that person.

There are also occurrences of psychics being able to learn new things about events from the past by seeing the memory, or imprint of the past’s energy enacted in front of them. This can help you gain important insight and information and to answer some gaps in knowledge you may have.

Is a psychic seeing into the past the same as seeing past lives?

Retro-cognition can be helpful to see actual events that happened in our known history, or to gain an idea of what may have occurred in a particular location. It is not the same as a past life reading though, which digs into your soul’s many different lives, rather than any ancestral or genetic lineage that a retro-cognitive reading might be able to give you.

If you’re interested in learning more about your past lives though, or how your past could be affecting your present in subconscious ways, a psychic reading with me can certainly provide some guidance and insight. CLICK HERE to learn more or schedule your session today

We all dream. Every night while we sleep, our minds open up to the realm of the unconscious and conjure up imagery, thoughts, sounds and all types of subjective sensations. We may not remember many of our dreams, but those we do remember can include people and places we know, people and places we’ve yet to meet or visit or some we have never even heard of. Yet how do we know if our dreams are psychic dreams? How can we tell if our dreams are trying to tell us something from beyond?

When your mind is open to intuitive psychic experiences, you may find yourself dreaming of the future, otherwise known as precognitive dreaming. Most people who have psychic dreams may not know it until they receive validation in waking life. For example, a woman may dream of a cottage in the woods so often, it becomes a muse for her artistic nature and she paints lovely pictures of her dream home. A few years later, she meets a man and falls in love. He takes her to his family’s getaway cottage and low and behold, it is the exact home the woman had been dreaming about for most of her adult life. Through this validation, the woman realizes she had been experiencing precognitive dreams.

This type of psychic dream is almost like a voice from the other side letting you know that you are on the right path. Dreams like these are usually very specific, either in a particular place or where you notice specific details in the actions and surroundings of your dream. Then sometime in the future, you find yourself in that very exact situation where you may even experience deja vu.

Other types of psychic dreams act more as warnings from the Other Side. A dream may show you something terribly unpleasant that may happen if you continue down the same path you are on. You experience the negative consequences of your actions in your dream, thus allowing yourself to adjust the path you are on while awake. You can consciously choose to avoid the unpleasantness in your dreams by making better decisions and trusting your psychic intuition.

Other types of dreams can include visitation from spirits on the Other Side. For example, if you are psychic and a skeptic about your own ability, or have blocked yourself from opening up to the spirit world while awake, the spirits will visit you in dreams. Usually it is simply a way to try to communicate with you, such as sitting on the edge of your bed or giving you a hug in your dream.

How can you tell if you are having psychic dreams? Many times you may never know until you receive confirmation in the waking world about a psychic dream that has come true. However, there are some ways to learn how to distinguish between a regular dream and a psychic dream.

The first thing you should do if you want to start determining if you are a psychic dreamer is to start a dream journal and record all of your dreams in as much detail as you can remember. This can be a notebook or an electronic voice recorder that you keep beside your bed and speak into when you first wake up. This is the time you will recall the most from your dreams.

Then you can put your dreams to the test. If you dream of the beach, go to the beach and see what else comes to mind that you may not have known about. If you dream of a sick friend, call and check in on them. The point of this is to not let your dreams go so easily, if you feel they mean more than simple random thoughts, explore them in your waking life.

As you become more of an expert on your own dreams, you may begin to recognize certain patterns that occur while psychic dreaming. Are colors more vivid during psychic dreams? Are people and places more real or surreal? Can you control your dreams, are you lucid and aware you are dreaming? Do you have more psychic dreams during different phases of the moon? Make sure to take notes of different details and aspects of your dreams and the frequency with which they occur and you may start to recognize a pattern to your psychic dreaming.

When a spirit shows up in your dream, there is usually an otherworldly quality to the dream. You may know or sense that it wasn’t a normal dream. It’s rare that a spirit will speak in a visitation dream. If you’re going through something significant in your waking life, a spirit may show up in your dreams to comfort and support you and to let you know they’re around you.
